my 56 olds is cuttin out!! need some help

i was drivin the freeway today and my olds started cuttin out after drivin a while and it got worst and worst the farther i went so i got some lunch got back in drove fine for a while then started cuttin out again

so im guessing a fuel delivery problem, so i blew out the lines so far but thats as far as i got. could anybody help me out

a few things i think it is would be the gas tank vent gettin stuck, air gettin in the fuel pump,leakin fuel pump (i does leak i know that for a fact but not a whole lot),gas boiling, etc

maybe vac advance?

any help would really be appreciated gotta pick up a girl on friday

 

Sounds like a bad coil or a bad points condensor ......

If ya gotta an extra coil throw it on and take it for a spin to the parts store & buy a condensor.

i'd try them first ..... Has the car been on the road long ? Has anything like this happened before ?

 

sounds like it could be a couple different things, i'd take a day or two and go through and fix your leaks and check your spark. my 2cents.

its been on the road since may before that it was stored for a short time and before that it had a full engine and ****** rebuild.has a few thousand miles since rebuild

if it was a bad coil and/or condenser would it be cuttin out then catchin back up like it does?Ill try that tommorow when i get some lihgt outside.
thanks

 

so it gets worse with how hot it gets, maybe the heat is expanding a carb gasket? could be a lot of thing though.

 

on second thought, maybe its just overheating a bit? my buddys 53 chevy would over heat and start to run like **** and eventually die out. then he would let it cool and it would run fine. changed the therm and it fixed it.

 

ya i know the fuel pump is goin bad (would a rebuild do?)
needs a new vac advance (i think)
im gonna throw a new coil and condenser tommorow.
anything else??

it didnt read it was hot, temp seemed fine could be wrong though ill keep it in mind. ill give the thermo a look-see.
